Problem solved! I think she just needs lots of repetition with the mental exercise of thinking ahead with the pitches.

So I quickly devised a series of vocal warmups that will help nail that pitch with the electronic app. No problem finding a free app, but when she heard the electronic sound, she FROZE. Now with a singer's 'find-your-pitch' exercise America's national anthem in 7 keys, & lyrics for 1 or all 4 verses. I suggested she and her mom download some kind of App that will give her the pitch. The notes and intervals are not a problem for her - what IS AN ISSUE is getting started on the right note! My vocal student will be singing the Star-Spangled Banner in June at some kind of Coast Guard ceremony. I plan to put up piano accompaniments for the national anthem as well for now, I hope the chord symbols help.Ībout the new exercise sheet, for singers, or at least for you voice teachers: If you want to sing more than just verse one, see the lyrics for all four verses of The Star-Spangled Banner as a downloadable PDF further down this page.
